Cross Effects 3.0 - June 23, 2016—April 02, 2018

[SINIB]

William

She didn't really sound convincing when she claimed that she hated being tikled but he allowed her to halt his hands anyway. But he did not release his hod on her, she would remain here for as long as he wished.

"Supreme pizza for the supreme diety you say and with extra bacon too, are you trying to fill out even more? Is that you're plan? Using your body to seduce me so I'll train you. How naughty, I've underestimated you haha." He chuckled a bit jovially. Yes his plan was going along smoothly. He'd have to ease her into his inner circle slowly.

Noire

"Hey, I don't appriciate that kind of slander! Why would I want to be like Vert?" She exclaimed indignantly. "It's very simple actually, going HDD consumes a bunch of calories, and now I'm hungry..."

The girl began twiddling her thumbs and blushed a bit at her words.

"Don't make fun of me, ok!" She suddenly exclaimed again, turning to face him before she realized how close her face was to him. "H-Hey." She said, blushing at him again.

God that was so stupid Noire! She berated herself for her stupid line.

[Kat]

Mordred

Crap, crap, crap! She was going to fall towards the arcade machine and crush it! That was not according to the plan! Without thinking it through, she dropped the controller and tried to grab Sakura's arm to stop her from falling.

[Aiden]

IRON=SAKURA

Sakura suddenly tripped, falling faceforward towards the arcade machine. Unless they somehow stopped her, it'd be crushed.

Auspicious Breeze

Breeze immediately stopped what she was doing and flooded her muscles with as much essence as she could. Her reflexes got so fast it seemed Sakura was moving in slow motion, and she had just enough speed to grab the cute girl around her waist and pull her back. Despite how heavy she was!

Then the former gladiator just held her close, a sunburst emblem shining on her forehead and a faint golden aura glowing around her body. "Hah... are you okay, Sakura?"

[SINIB]

IRON=SAKURA

"Shit!" Sakura yelled as she felt herself falling and picking up speed. This was going to suck hard. Breeze and Mordred lept into action, trying to stop her fall without much success, only succeding in slowing her down. But, it managed to slow her down enough for her to act herself. She moved her feet forward, crouched down suddenly, pulling the two down to the ground with her, and slammed her arms into the ground, stopping her flat.

She was panting heavily, but not from exhaustion. It was more like she was visiably shaken. "Did. One of you. Trip me?" She asked, looking at the two sadly. "You didn't right?"

[Kat]

Mordred

Thank goodness, the worst case scenario avoided. But Sakura's gaze gnawed at her guilty conscience. "Uh, sorry, I didn't touch you, but my magic backfired. I just tried to move one of your targets away from your aim but I botched it. I'm so sorry..." Mordred said meekly. She still hesitated to spell it clearly that she gave her a bout of bad luck, but well, her missing her targets was indeed her intention.

"Ughhh, the place won't probably survive our competition at this rate. I'll take the loss and do you a favor too as a apology. How's bout that?"

[Aiden]

Auspicious Breeze

That left Breeze gaping at Mordred from her spot holding onto Sakura. Her girlfriend had tried to cheat with her magic?! That was just, how did she even react to that? That wasn't right at all. "M-Mordred... I thought knights were supposed to be all about that honor stuff?"

[Umbra of Chaos]

Meti

Meti nodded her head at the notion. She could have kissed the blade as well, but that would have sullied its perfect image. The thought still darkened her cheeks as she stood up. Then she held the blade with absolute ease but perfect firmness.

"But now that is done, I did promise to sate, did I not? I would love to make you happy right now." Her bare feet made a distinctive sound against the floor as the moved towards the door.

[SINIB]

IRON=SAKURA

Sakura flicked Mordred on the forehead, hard. "Well that was stupid of you. Did you think I wouldn't notice? Falling for me is super fucking dangerous, you know? With my weight I can cause serious damage to property and person." Sakura lecuted Mordred angrily, clearly upset at what had transpired. "Don't do it again, you hear me?"

After that she turned to Breeze. "We'll just have to declare her the super ultra mega omega turbo loser of this competition. She'll have to suffer the punishments of both of us." She turned back to face Mordred, smiling dangerously. "After all, that's what happens when you cheat! No complaints!"

[Aiden]

Meti

Meti nodded her head at the notion. She could have kissed the blade as well, but that would have sullied its perfect image. The thought still darkened her cheeks as she stood up. Then she held the blade with absolute ease but perfect firmness.

"But now that is done, I did promise to sate, did I not? I would love to make you happy right now." Her bare feet made a distinctive sound against the floor as the moved towards the door.

Muramasa Katase

"Ah." The voice of the blade's puppet from before breathed by Meti's ear, somehow sneaking up on her. Her face was flushed red, and her lips turned up in a smile. Katase was happy. "Actually, I believe I would like to warm up a little before that. I have a sudden desire for a cup of tea.."

Blame the souls that gave form to her mind, but this Muramasa wanted to go on what humans called a 'date' before they got to... the main event.

[MissingMandible]

Gojira:

Gojira was still unconvinced. She was about to ask more when the doors of the apartment complex opened behind Adutor, and a mass of people came out. Among them was the sunglasses-wearing Joshua, who appeared to be looking for someone in the crowd and now locked eyes with her.

Gojira immediately looked down and tried to be as inconspicuous as a personified kaiju could be. She grabbed Adjutor by the arm and started pulling her along the sidewalk. The shuffling mass of people will buy her time to get away from that man and his freaky eyes, and she will use every moment of it.

[Umbra of Chaos]

Meti

Her face scrunched up in confusion. Was this a euphemism? She had never heard of one involving a cup of tea before. Usually statements implying death had some sort of nuance that she could catch onto. But something about this was eluding her. She eloquently gave her confusion form with a, "Bwuh?"

[Aiden]

Muramasa Katase

Ah, her dear savant was perhaps a touch more focused in her interests than even Katase was. And Katase was a sword. Well, no matter; Meti was all too inclined to just do as she said. Her puppet's head tilted as she observed her response. "Tea. I would like to drink tea with you, Meti."

[Umbra of Chaos]

Meti

Oh. Ohhhhhhh. Meep. Her face turned deep read in a mixture of embarrassment and confusion. This all felt rather strange and nice. But there was some strange wrongness twisting in her gut. The hard, sharp grit of her soul that held little feeling for anything but cutting reacting against what seemed like... waste in a sword.

She moved past her unconscious feeling as she nodded her head. "Yes! Of course! ...But I do not know of any good tea shops in this city."

[Aiden]

Muramasa Katase

"Fortunately, I know precisely where we shall be going." She wrapped her puppet's arms around one of Meti's, and began making her way out of the safe place she used for this. "Do keep up, Meti."

The sword's will surged through the girl again, seeking to cut down those silly concerns and discomforts that might get in their way.

[Panda]

Adjutor

The monster hunter's eyes snapped open as Gojira pulled her along, the woman following her fellow's gaze to a curious man with sunglasses.

Curious. That was the guy at the lobby earlier.

Adjutor followed along, only putting in enough effort for Gojira to not pull her off balance and quietly humming along to a traveling song from back home as they went along.
